As above, very difficult to give concrete advice here but it could be worth sticking a winch on the rootplate to tension the top side and make absolute certain that root plate goes back to where it came. That rootplate could easily kill you.

1 bed flat ( nothing special ) $435,000.. bottle cider $15. tin beans over$2. ice skating session $30. Take plenty of money would be my advice !!

My wife got back from Melbourne last week and said it was easily the most expensive place she has been . The cost of living over there must be scandalous and quite prohibitive now for people wanting to relocate.

For gods sake guys , get in there!!!!!

Our '03 warrior has done this since we bought it 6 years ago. What happens is that when you drop a gear to overtake or put alot of power on when towing for example all the crap seems to build up inside and the power drops and drops away until you eventually have to pull over and stop for a few minutes. When you restart the engine a pile of black smoke and debris plumes out the exhaust and the engine management light should go out. Weve never managed to resolve it so cant tow anything which was one of the reasons we bought it in the first place . Hope someone on here can provide an answer as it would provide some positive in what has been a huge mistake on my part but appreciate some on here like them.

I really admire your honesty here Arborist, took a bit of guts to post this. Your right in that you see some heinous things in the hunting world. I am also ashamed with one or two of my actions years ago but Have witnessed equally shocking things in the equestrian scene aswell. Its the individual concerned not the activity thats the problem. As you get older you become much less tolerant of ' the idiot brigade ' i find and just surround yourself with decent people. Dont give up on the dogs buddy cause they will never give up on you .

Roald Amundsen the first man to reach the south pole learned from the Inuit not to eat seal or polar bear liver because of the toxicity levels of vitamin A. In some of the fictional documentaries he is quoted as saying ' I wont eat what the dogs wont eat '.

This post made me look up the story regarding the death of the Dumbarton football captain couple of years ago at a 4x4 event in Dingwall. The vehicle brought down powerlines , BUT it said he was electrocuted after he pulled himself from the vehicle , possibly reiterating the safety message here of staying in your cab.

Fossil fungi, a little snippet of interest
born2trot replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Fungi Pictures
Would be interesting to find out what fungi are the last to die off at the approach of an ice age and the first to re-emerge as it ends. -

It amazes me , after all the argy bargy they have on the roads there never is a punch up. Could you imagine that over here ? It seems to be a ritual for them to get out and argue. Good series but probably preferred the alaskan roads.

Minced onion as PART of the diet incidently! Remember eating solely rabbit will eventually kill you aswell!

From the legend that is George Curtis the trainer of Ballyregan Bob , the greatest dog of all time . A man who Knows more about canine athletes than all of us put together.

The greatest mammalian athlete that has ever lived ' the greyhound ' is fed a little cooked but mainly raw minced cabbage, onion and carrots as part of its daily diet.

Absolutely , I used one Tuesday to dismantle a large poplar safely.

DRS I'm not saying the commercial food doesnt have its place in our fast paced society, but for example my little terrier catches the odd rabbit here and there .. and if she catches it then thats her dinner.. raw as it comes. Now previously if i had sat a raw rabbit in her dinner bowl she would not even have looked at it. Because I set it up as a game now she absolutely demolishes it. And I've tried this now over a fair period so there is no doubt. My neighbours have cottoned on to me doing this so they now leave rabbits out for me aswell. What about just once or twice a week thawing out some cheap minced lamb or beef ? I spoke to a nice lady with a gorgeous young patterdale terrier a couple of days ago and she was moaning to me how she couldn't get it to eat properly....even though it was on Hills Science Diet!!! oh i wonder why???

This is a big subject for me this... I am totally convinced that these modern ' easy feed ' dry diets ( my best mate calls it canine pot noodle , and he's one of the best genuine working dog men i know ) is responsible for many of the serious canine ailments we have today. I'm sorry but they are making dog owners lazy in regards to diet. There is absolutely no substitute for fresh raw meat and vegetables , cooked a little if need be. The two way relationship between man and dog which has developed over thousands of years has largely been lost ... I believe dogs not only want to do something for their owners but NEED to do something, mentally and physically. Even a couple of days a week get your dog to ' find ' his own dinner. Hide a bone or something succulent behind a tree or under a bush and watch what a dog can do , you can make up no end of permutations and your dog will be as happy as a sandboy.

So sad for your loss.. Like others on here I take losing dogs very hard aswell.
